Colt Project Portfolio 2014
Designed by Grimshaw Architects
working in association with The
Buchan Group, and completed by
Probuild in March 2013, Highpoint
Shopping Centre is the largest retail
fashion outlet in Australia. All the
shops are air conditioned but the
main atria/malls in between the
shops rely on natural ventilation, so
the ventilation systems need to work
together so the shops do not overheat,
nor use excessive air conditioning.
and an insulated metal operable natural
ventilation system to the Eco Mall.
A Colt Control system operates three
separate and independently controlled
zones in each Mall.

The system provides the shoppers with
clean fresh air and a sense of openness and
enables a reduction in the carbon footprint
of the building, ensuring the most effective
contribution to the shopping centre’s
energy efficiency.

Vienna International
Airport Cargo Hall,
Schwechat
The airport is the largest and busiest in
Austria, and handled over 22 million
passengers during 2012 and almost ¼
million aircraft movements. The cargo
installations have direct and central
access to the apron and a feeder road to
the A4 motorway, ensuring rapid cargo
handling for all concerned.
Colt Austria designed a smoke ventilation
scheme with Colt Firelight Duo units for
day to day and automatic fire ventilation.
Since the ventilators are installed on
the roof and access is required for
maintenance and cleaning purposes, Colt
has used special glazing as a safety feature.

Etgarim Centre, Tel Aviv
The Shneur Cheshin Complex is the new sports centre for the association
called Etgarim “challenge”. Etgarim is a non-profit organisation which
was founded in 1995 by a group of disabled Israeli Defence Forces
veterans, disabled civilians and senior rehabilitation professionals.
It was founded to help children, adolescents and adults to rehabilitate
themselves physically, mentally and socially through challenging sports
and outdoor activities, assisted by the Etgarim team of volunteers.
Hau Gok Tin Hau Temple, Tuen Mun
Hau Gok Tin Hau Temple is located
at the side of a large open piece of
ground. Because of its location right
next to a main waterway, Tuen Mun
became a magnet for the fishing
community and no fisherman’s town
is complete without the requisite Tin
Hau Temple. It was built for those
ancient fisherman so they could
continue to enjoy the protection and
good will of the heavenly sea goddess.

Because of the additional co-operation of
the local salt merchants – mainly from the
To clan – who moved to Tuen Mun during
the Ming Dynasty, the temple grew in size
over the years. With the close ties between
the salt and fishing buinesses, Tin Hau also
became the adopted patron of the salt men.
In order to have a better understanding of
historical temples, the Government started
to re-build a temple which could display
some historical photos like a small
museum, and provide a place where
locals and tourists could learn more
about the history. The Colt distributor,
FAS Engineering Limited, is responsible
for the design of the exterior wall using
Colt Louvres to provide better airflow
with rain defence, providing an attractive
place for people to visit and relax.

This new centre bears the name of Shneur Cheshin, who was killed in 2010 in
a hit and run accident when cycling. Designed by architect Iftah Hayner, an
Associate Architect at Yoav Messer Architects, the centre is situated between
a main road and a park where all the activities are carried out, and needs to be
readily accessed by the people who visit the centre for rehabilitation.
Various solar shading options were examined, and the Colt horizontal folding
Ellisse system was selected as the perfect solution, both functionally and
aesthetically. The system was tested over 10,000 cycles of opening and
closing and installed by Promet Limited.

The printing production process
generates a lot of heat and it is
important to have an internal climate
with as few fluctuations in conditions
as possible throughout the year,
not only to provide a good working
environment for the staff, but also
because the heat and humidity affects
the paper itself and quality of printing.
Colt designed and installed a system
which ensures energy efficient
heating of rooms in the winter
by using the waste heat from the
printing process, and providing
energy efficient ventilation and
cooling in the summer months.
Mechanical exhaust ventilation and
heat recovery to the warehouses
is provided by Colt Typhoon
extract units and recycling units.

The transport operator MTR needed to improve the weather proofing of the system
and having originally installed fixed Solarfin metal solar shading louvres ten years
previously, asked Colt, through FAS Engineering Limited, to design a new system to
allow natural ventilation and daylight into the concourse. Colt designed a pneumatic
operable system which could resist the extreme wind speeds in the typhoon season,
but would allow the fins to close in poor weather conditions and would open them
automatically in an emergency.

Baldivis High School, Perth
Baldivis is a semi-rural residential
suburb to the south of the central
business district of Perth, and the high
school is located in the newly-developed
area of the Rivergums Estate with
residential development on two sides
and open space on a third. The school
was opened in 2013 and will eventually
accommodate 1,200 students.
The Education Department wanted to use a
natural ventilation system to reduce energy
consumption. Colt provided a bespoke
scheme of Coltlite CLS natural ventilators
which will maintain a good internal
climate with a low initial investment and
low running and maintenance costs.

WorkZone, 202 Pier Street, Perth
Located in Perth’s thriving inner city fringe, WorkZone
provides all the convenience and accessibility of a
Central Business District location without the high
occupancy costs of comparable space. The building
was completed in September 2013 and over 75% was
leased to the anchor tenant, Leighton Contactors. Not
only does WorkZone create a unique working space
for staff with multi-purpose facilities, but the building
has also achieved a 5 Star Green Star rating for
energy efficiency from the Green Building Council.
Colt worked on a very restrictive site which is built to the
boundary of two roads, and liaised with the architect to
provide a striking aesthetic façade with a shading system using
aluminium tubes. Colt 1UL/SH, 2UL/SH performance louvres
and Grata are also installed for mechanical exhaust and inlet.

Stadhuis Beersel, Beersel
Beersel is a municipality located in the
Flemish Belgian province of Brabant,
with close to 25,000 inhabitants. It is
close to the southwest centre of Brussels.
Colt Belgium worked closely with the
architect on this project to improve
the energy efficiency of the town
hall, and ensure the work enhanced
the appearance of the building. Colt
installed a Shadovoltaic solar shading
system to reduce the building’s heat
load, and incorporated photovoltaic
cells to generate electricity.
The installation is controlled by a Colt
ICS-4 Link control panel which optimises
the output from the PV cells to maximise
green energy. The programme closes
the system during the winter months,
providing a double façade to save on

in Vienna, this is the largest of almost 700 branches. The building was
constructed in accordance with the latest environmental directives and
certified by the Austrian Society for Sustainable Real Estate.
This was a complex project for Colt Austria, who designed and installed
a new smoke control system for the 35,000 square metre warehouse. The
natural and mechanical ventilation system provides both day to day and fire
ventilation using Colt EuroCO and Coltlite louvred ventilators, Apollo Mono
extract ventilators, and a Liberator powered smoke extraction fan. The central

The factory is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified.
Drying the linseed oil used in the production of linoleum produces vapour
and temperatures up to 80°C. During the refurbishment of the plant, Colt
Holland worked closely with Metaalbouw TSV to design and manufacture
new EuroMeteor-type domes for day to day and smoke ventilation. The
greatest innovation is the use of aluminium in the domes, which is lighter

also completely vapour-tight under all circumstances. TSV developed and
delivered the metal tops for the domes, while Colt installed the ventilators.

concerned about the social responsibility implicit in the ownership
of an industrial organisation the size of Colt, and established the
Colt Foundation as a charitable trust with a gift of shares in the
Colt Group of companies. The Foundation currently owns 22% of
the business and the dividends from this holding provide part of
the income of the Foundation.
The Foundation seeks to finance and encourage medical
research into occupational and environmental health,
especially looking at the causes of illnesses resulting from
conditions in the workplace. The Trustees are particularly
keen to support projects which will inform government
policy and make a difference to working practices.

Jack O’Hea always placed great importance on the people who
worked for him, and encouraged their training and development.
The Trustees also believe that an investment in the training of
young people is an investment in the future, and currently award
up to 25% of all grants for the support of students. The Colt
Foundation PhD Fellowships are awarded annually in competition
to students who are studying some aspect of occupational health,
and the Foundation has also provided long term support for the
